Swagelok® Hydrogen Tubing System Training

Description

COURSE OVERVIEW

This training program is designed to provide knowledge and understanding of: 

  • What is Hydrogen?

 - You’ll learn what makes hydrogen different from other gases and why it can be challenging to store and handle safely.

 - We’ll separate myths from facts so you understand the real risks, and we’ll look at a real hydrogen incident to show why proper installation, training, and maintenance are so important.

 - By the end, you’ll know how careful handling and good practices keep hydrogen systems safe and reliable.

  • Joint types used in the Hydrogen industry

 - Understand the array of joints available and the challenges associated with a small molecule gas

  • Hydrogen Compatible Materials

 - Understand the risks of different metal and non metal choice. Best practice and materials to avoid.

  • Risk Mitigation and Best Practices 

  • Tube Fitting Installation

 - Tailored for Hydrogen applications

 - Practical exercise to pull up tube fittings to demonstrate competency using a variety of fitting types with differing installation procedures.

  • Tube Bending

 - Bending tube offers the advantage to reduce joints in a hydrogen system promoting safety.

 - Hands-on bending exercises to demonstrate and check delegate competency to practically bend tube using the measure bend method

  • Tube Fitting Installation Inspection 

 - Clear guideline to judge condition of new and existing builds

 - Invasive and non invasive checks

 - Practical exercises to understand common installation errors on tube fittings that can lead to safety concerns

 - Improve risk awareness and learn the skills to identify safe, faulty or dangerous applications

 - Fault finding exercise where delegates find panel faults and identify seriousness of errors and corrective actions as necessary

  • Higher Pressure Module 

 - Where is higher pressure hydrogen likely to be encountered?

- Risks of high pressure systems

- Tubing considerations and good practise for selection and preparation.

- Introduction to FK and Cone & Thread jointing technologies for high pressure hydrogen

  • FK Medium-Pressure Tube Fittings 

 - Understand the fitting type and suitability for Hydrogen

 - Assembly and reassembly instructions with best practises

 - Gaugeability

 - Troubleshooting of common installation errors

 - Practical pull up of FK fitting

  • Cone and Thread Fittings 

 - Understand the fitting type and suitability for Hydrogen

 - Assembly and reassembly instructions with best practises

 - Troubleshooting of common installation errors

 - Practical pullup of Cone and thread fitting

 - Practical to cone and thread tubing prior to the pull up

  • Leak Testing 

 - Leak testing options for hydrogen systems

 - Practical exercise to leak check the test piece from the fitting practical using Helium

 - Practical exercise to identify leaks on a panel using Helium

  • Knowledge Test 

Knowledge test to prove understanding of all course content and prove sufficient understanding to pass the course

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

TSTP hands-on training is ideal for installers, technicians, engineers, designers, QC/QA inspectors, and others responsible for designing, installing, maintaining, and/or inspecting tubing systems in hydrogen and small molecule gas delivery systems.

 

Troubleshooting and inspection is a vital part of checking critical systems such as hydrogen. Relevant to all as they need to check their own work as well as others and gives a decision basis for all job roles, such as managers and supervisors that have responsibilities to sign off as safe, Hydrogen tubing systems.

 

CERTIFICATE

Successful attendees will receive a Swagelok® Certificate of Completion which is valid for three years. For added customer assurance, training certificates are tracked using a centralized Swagelok Customer Training Records System. This enables those who have completed the course and their employers quick and easy verification of training records.
